Jennifer Lopez is a true all-round megastar and a bona fide triple threat - singing, acting and pole dancing, apparently. Yep, in her upcoming movie Hustlers, J.Lo shows us that being adept at the art form is just another item on her already-impressive resume - as if any of us really had any doubts about that.

The film focusses on a group of former strip club workers who band together to hustle some of their more high-profile clients. And to gear up for the movie's release in September, STX Entertainment has released a brand new clip from Hustlers.

In it, Lopez showcases her pole-dancing proficiency as her character Ramona teaches Destiny (played by Crazy Rich Asians' Constance Wu) a few moves.  So if a pole dance tutorial from none other than Jenny from the Block is right up your street, then you're in for an absolute treat!

Watch Jennifer Lopez work the pole in this brand new clip from the movie:

In order to perfect her skills and prepare her for her big pole solo in the movie, the On The Floor singer received extensive training from choreographer Johanna Sapakie.

According to Harper's Bazaar, Sapakie began working with Lopez two and a half months before she started filming. They trained about two to three times a week with hour-long sessions, depending on the actress' busy schedule. Incredibly, Lopez was in the middle of a world tour at the time and had plenty of other projects to contend with.

"That was the point of making sure she had a pole in any city she was in. And I would go to her wherever she was at, so that within for a crazy busy schedule, we would lock out a pole training," Sapakie said in an interview with the publication.

The star-studded cast also includes former Disney starlet Keke Palmer, Riverdale's Lili Reinhart, and Cardi B. Plus the movie features appearances from Academy Award-winning actress Mercedes Ruehl, Julia Stiles from the Bourne franchise, Trace Lysette from Amazon's Transparent, Mette Towley and Madeline Brewer from The Handmaid’s Tale.

Hustlers hits theatres on September 13.

Anyone who's ever tried to pole dance will attest to the fact that it's a lot harder than it looks. Exotic dancers, quite frankly, don't get enough credit. Pole dancing requires not only talent, but a lot of upper body strength. In short, it's as valid a performance art as any other - the only difference is that it's considered a lot sexier than the likes of, say, ballet and hip hop.

And because it's a sexy performance art, those who excel at it usually adhere to society's narrow beauty standards. But, as we've learned in recent years, just because someone is a little older than what would have once been deemed the "right" age to be sexy, doesn't mean that they still can't get tongues wagging. Case in point, 49-year-old Jennifer Lopez.

The singer and actress was recently filmed by beau Alex Rodrigez strutting her stuff on a pole. He shared the sexy clip to his Instagram story, and in it, the 43-year-old can be heard saying "woo" as she JLo swings around the pole.

To see how incredible JLo's body still looks at 49, check out the clip for yourself below:

While the exact location of JLo's private show is not known, the Daily Mail has speculated that it was recorded in a Miami gym.

In the clip, Jenny from the Block can be seen receiving instructions from a trainer about how to position herself next to the pole for a move. After faltering a little, JLo goes onto pull it off effortlessly - much to Rodrigez' delight.

While, on a first glance, it might appear that JLo has taken up pole dancing as a form of exercise, in reality, she is preparing for her latest movie, Hustlers - which, as it stands, has no official release date.

The 49-year-old is clearly working as hard as ever for her role in it, and she shared pictures of herself working on her upper body strength too - a key requirement to being able to successfully work a pole.

Hustlers, which is being directed by Lorene Scafaria, centers around former strip club employees (hence the pole dancing) who, after the financial crisis, "turn the tables" on their former Wall Street clients, Variety reports.

"The film is an empathetic look at women and men, our gender roles, what we're valued for, what we've been told is our value in every movie, TV show, every corner of culture," Scafaria revealed.

Well, if this clip is anything to go by, viewers are in for a treat!

It's no secret that Jenny from the Block has an enviable figure. The 49-year-old recently hit the headlines after she was recorded by beau Alex Rodrigeuz strutting her stuff on a pole in preparation for her upcoming movie, Hustlers.

However, the latest piece of footage to emerge of J-Lo, rather than being a feast for the eyes, really is the ultimate throwback and shows the songstress-turned-actress strutting her stuff in the audition that changed her life.

Here she is auditioning for what became her first major performance role, 'In Living Color':

Recounting her struggle in an interview with the Daily Mail, J-Lo said:

"I remember only getting to have one piece of pizza every day when I was a dancer. That's how I lived. I did that for a couple of years before I got my first big job. I wouldn't trade it for the world. For me, coming from that struggle, this is a dream come true for me. I don't say that lightly."

"I always consider myself as a dancer first," she continued to the Daily Mail. "I became a singer and actress after dancing. For me, it's so part of who I am."

While it's obvious from the audition that J-Lo's routine is far from perfect, her talent is clear, and she landed the job. She went on to appear on the show for to years before moving onto bigger and better things.

"I think I was pretty fearless. I think when you're younger, you are. Like, ignorance is bliss," she recently revealed to ET. "You have no idea [to think] like, 'I can fall on my face, and it's gonna scar me for 10 years.' You know none of these things."

Now a judge on World of Dance, however, J-Lo doesn't think that she'd have made the cut among what she's described as "the best dancers in the world."

"I'd like to think I could, but I don't think I could," she said to ET. "I don't think I would have made it very far here."

Still, there's no doubt that J-Lo's past experiences will play in an invaluable role as she mentors dancers on the show.

You may think that a stripper/heist movie starring chart-toppers Cardi B and Jennifer Lopez would be nothing more than a cheesy flop that would rely upon sex to sell tickets - but after watching this trailer, you may find that Hustlers could be the dark horse for your favorite movie of the year.

Written and directed by Lorene Scafaria (The Meddler), the film is based upon the New York magazine article 'The Hustlers at Scores' by Jessica Pressler, which reported on the "modern Robin Hood story" about a group of strippers who robbed "rich", "disgusting", and "pathetic" men, and kept the money for themselves.

And the cast list for this film is as stacked as all that stolen cash, with huge international names like Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B, Keke Palmer, Julia Stiles, Lili Reinhart, and Lizzo all promising to deliver an instant classic.

The official synopsis for the movie reads like an Ocean's 8/Magic Mike instant classic: "Inspired by the viral New York Magazine article, Hustlers follows a crew of savvy former strip club employees who band together to turn the tables on their Wall Street clients."

Hustlers hits movie theaters in the US on September 13, 2019.

Jennifer Lopez appeared unfazed as she was lambasted by anti-fur protesters at the Hustlers premiere, which took place at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday night.

In a video obtained by TMZ, protestors holding signs can be heard shouting, "Shame on you, JLo, for wearing fur! Shame on you for wearing fur Jennifer Lopez! Stop wearing fur Jennifer Lopez! Stop wearing fur JLo! Stop wearing fox fur!"

One went so far as to claim that J-Lo has killed "thousands of animals" by wearing fur, and another corroborated that she has "blood on her hands".

While Jennifer wasn't wearing any fur at the premiere, she does in Hustlers, and has posted photos of herself in a fur coat from the film on her Instagram account. It is unclear, however, if it was real of faux.

The 50-year-old did not appear to respond to the demonstrators.

The performer recently opened up to Variety about how uncomfortable she was during certain parts of filming.

"It's not like me being on stage with a bunch of tights and fishnets on and bodysuits," she said of the required wardrobe. "Those are sexy costumes. This is another level. You're out there naked!"

In one scene, J-Lo dances in a G-string to solidify her character's reputation as New York's most cunning stripper. "I was terrified," she revealed. I was like, 'I’ve never done anything like this. I’m going to be up there in f*cking dental floss. What is this? Who is this person?'"

Jennifer plays a stripper called Ramona in the feature, which is based on a true story reported in New York Magazine about strippers who conned their Wall Street clients out of money.

She stars aside rapper, Cardi B, Constance Wu, Lizzo, Keke Palmer and Lili Reinhart.
